It’s actually a sacrificial role and even listened to Buckley over last few days he has said how WHE for pies played the role and did so much unrewarding stuff on field and he was the whipping boy of pies supporters quite often. VDM is the same for us.
He pressure and enthusiasm was good again today. Probably should have nailer one or two more goals. Building nicely. I think he is definitely ready for a debut. I think back to the pre season game he played along Marra English Cody Bont and ed and he looked electric that day. He will be better...
I’m pretty surprised to be honest. He has kicked 6 straight but his defensive work has dropped off and he doesn’t tackle. Maybe it’s just because he has some senior experience. I thought Clarke had gone right past him. I’d have McNeil also ahead at this stage. Not saying arty can’t jump ahead of...
High possession games are not the be all. Look at Cyril. Do you know if you have the ball 30 times a game it’s in your hands for around 2minutes. So it’s more important what your doing without the ball especially defensively
Wow you think? From what I seen he done most of the burning by trying to do to much. Again in saying that I feel it’s all from a drop in confidence. I still think an extended period in the vfl will help him get that confidence back. Along with working hard on the training track which im
Sure he...
I’d like to see Clarke in also.
First in has to be Garcia. I’d probably bring in Harmes also.
To me gags and sanders need a rest. It’s a big work load for young players. I don’t think either have done anything wrong just seems like out put has dropped so probably a little tired.
Clarke will be our miers in time. I got no doubt.
His creativity and kicks inside f50 last year in vfl were great.
One game I went to live? he done two of the best square up kicks I have seen, to hit team mates at the top of the goal square. With his first pre season under his belt and...
That’s just a pathetic comment and a lack of game understanding. Arty is a mile off it and at the moment bereft of confidence and a little timid. Let him build up.
VDM has had one fumble and you lose your s**t.
He has been our best pressure fwd. Yes he missed a sitter but he wasn’t Robinson...
Absolutely incorrect. VDM is our best pressure fwd. Covers the ground best and internally the coaches value him a lot more than most supporters.
VDM has never been omitted.
That wasn’t a mark yes he probably touches it before it’s fully over the line but he isn’t in control of that ball until it’s well over. Also the camera angles and the technology is piss poor. Especially when goal umpire has made a decision. Who is right there.
I’ll add that decision is not why...
VDM had 2 turnover!! Wow give me a spell. We lost because as a Team defence we allowed them to transition from their back half into their fwd50 to easily on occasions and they got easier goals than we did.
Plenty to be proud of and plenty we can improve on. No need to hate on any players. Cats...
I’m a huge Clarke fan but I wouldn’t be dropping any small fwds yet. All played pretty well. We have to many of our supporters quick to turn.
Personally I’d bring Garcia in for Daniel.
I also think we need another tall down back. I’d bring Keath. He is in very good for and moving very well...
How or why would anyone drop gags? Young fella getting better every contest.
Ins and outs are tough.
Richards must come in and most likely poulter hoes out.
Another defender also must come in and for me that’s Keath. He has JOD covered for the moment.
Also Lobb could be in for Darcy but it’s...
JOD and Croft very athletic they will b
Played a combination of both. Mainly wing though. Obviously we want players getting their hands on the ball. However the way they compete and run defensively is very important also.
Dom was ok competed well and was strong in the air.
I see a lot of...
Arty lacking confidence. Small fwd not an easy spot to get it back at it either.
Clarke was brilliant today. Very clean and creative. His practice match form and today has him heading in a good direction. Look fast and agile which was missing last year.
Not sure Gallagher or Clarke are quite ready yet. I’m hopeful both with play 5-10 senior games this year but until they play consistently I can’t see them nailing a permanent spot this year.
Also think your being harsh on west he is our most physical small fwd. creates great pressure and gives...
Huge Clarke fan but not sure he is ready or ahead of McNeil yet. Once he finds that consistency he, flea and west are a great mix for our fwd half.
Patience with Clarke is key.
